Seize the Day!
Isn't that what Carpinteria is all about? Seizing the day: Living in the moment and living it to it's fullest: Getting the most out of it: Embracing every moment, extricating every joyful part of it and swimming in it? Well, isn't it? For example, this photo. I absolutely love this photo. This is Noah and Marin (great names for the post and for a water lover like me) don't they look like they are having fun?
So in order to describe the experience we need to break it up into four chapters: Camp, Beach, Crafts, Baseball.
CAMP
BEACH
Beautiful clear skies and perfect temperatures made for a great week. We ate a lot, swam a lot and played some cards. The kids were in the water 24/7 and we sat under the umbrellas, ate chips and salsa, cookies, sour patch kids, tuna sandwiches, hot tamalies,
CRAFTS
I don't know whose idea it was, but it was a great one. Each family brought a craft to share with the kids. All kids, it doesn't matter how old participated. There were the patriotic windsocks, the cup cakes to be decorated, the rocks to be painted, the take us way back to the 80's bracelets that were created and finally the little pom pom necklaces. Fun activities for all ages. Richard probably painted like 8 rocks. He even painted a New York Yankees rock just for Creighton Sebra, now that is unconditional love.
BASEBALL
Baseball is serious business for this crowd. The adults are just as into it as the kids. The big boys, Noah, Ben and Cole wanted to have real a game with the dad's. I think that most boys think that they can beat their dad's. A
